That is strange. The GENERIC kernel should build with no problems -
efforts were made to keep the Make.* files in /sys/conf in sync with
the GENERIC system.
Alas, it sounds like I didn't keep the template Makefiles current
enough ;-(
I doubt there are any books out there that know anything about
overlays - it's a a lost art from what I've seen.
I'll follow up with a mini tutorial on how to build a kernel. One
note for now: it is 99.999% certain that after configuring a
non-GENERIC kernel you will get a size error from the linker and you
will have to adjust the overlay layout in your kernel build directory.
